The question of licensing gambling
is before the Astoria city council under
the new charter, which was evidently
smuggled through the legislature, as
the state laws declare gambling to be
a criminal offence, It is not to be pre
sumed that a legislative body would
knowingly pass a oharter permitting
the license of that declared a oriuie.
It Is thought that the council will puss
an ordinance placing the license fee at
$20,000 per annum. Ex,

The poor Esquimaux who have been
brought to the world's fair, to represent
me frigid Dorth, are complaining al-
roiiny because their manager makes
them wear furs when it la such warm
weather. If their plaints begin to
float upon the still frosty air of March
nd April, what will be the howls
that will arise when the real warm
weather of August and September
lanes noia or them The oleaginous
effluvia will probably induce the sight
b cers to keep at a distance. Ex.
aV gentleman by the name of New
mire, living on the upper giuslnw, is
afflictt'd with a peculiar trouble which
has greatly excited the neighborhood
A couple of weeks ago the trouble
showed itself, and he would be taken
with a spasm, which would terminate
by his barking like a dog. Dr. Paine
wont out to see him Sunday and pre-
scrinea rnr mm and thinks he will
soon be over It. The trouble Is what
is called hystere epilepsy. The neigh
borsjof the man thought he had been
bitten by a mad dog and were afraid
of him. Register.
The common ond much despised,
but odoriferous, dog-fennel is not in
digenous to Oregon soil. Its presence
In the Yamhill valley Is accounted
for, says the Sheridan Sun, by the
fact of a farmer's receiving a package
of the seeds from a friend in the East,
who insist that it would produce
"beautiful flowers." The seed was
sparingly divided around the neigh
borhood and a grand crop of dog
fennel was the result, much to the
disgust of the ladles. And that is
how the onery dog-fennel got its
start in Yamhill.
There occurred a queer freak of the
fire fiend near Mt. Scott says the Ore
gon City Enterprise, when the resi
dence of John Matz, at Tobasco, was
partially destroyed by Are Saturday
evening during the absence of the
family. It appears that a lamp must
have exploded but the Are did not get
on the ouside of the bouse. The
rooms were tight and there was no
draught. All the furniture in the
room was burned or charred and tbe
Are extinguished itself. When Mr.
Matz returned and opened the door he
found the Inside of his house a black
ened ruin. His damage is several
hundred dollars.
The Southern Oregon mines are at
tracting so much attention tbat the
Southern Pacific Is selling round trip
tickets to them from all points. The
fad Is Southern Oregon is attracting s
great deal of atteutiou and advancing
rapidly, not only ou acoount of her un
deve'oped mlueral wealth, but also be
cause of her rich soil and beautiful and
healthful climate having .enough of
the Yvebfoot dampness to insure good
crops, aud enough of the California
sunshine to fit the term, "the Italy of
Oregou." We do not envy Southern
Oregon her renewed prosperity. The
advancement of every portion of Ore
gon helps every other portion of this
great commonwealth. Statesman.
It is probable the question Is raised
for the first time In this state by the
cose at McMinnville, where a man
may, In giving a deed prohibit ever
after the selling of liquor or any other
commodity on that land The decision
will be watched for with muoh Inters
est, as there are a number of additions
which have now become parts of cities
in this state in which all the original
deeds bore such a proviso. It is not
probable that such ideas will prevail
against the sentiment of a majority of
any community. It is like laws pass
ed by Sabbatarians aud temperance
advocates. The average American
citizen, if he believes himself unjustly
restrained of his liberty by any law,
would break that law. And when
an approximate half of a community
breaks a law it becomes a dead letter.
Ex.
Lawrence Stoveall, a 18-year old
lad, living in tbe western outskirts of
the city, lies prostrate near to his
death with a ghastly gunshot wound
through his head. In company with
several other boys, last Wednesday
afternoon, Lawrence was amusing
himself firing off an old guu which
had a piece of a bolt with the threads
worn nearly smooth, plugged into it
for a temporary breeebpiu. He fired
the dangerous weapon once to often;
for upon his exploding It, finally the
plug was blown out and went crash
ing into his brain, penetrating the
boy's face at the light eye and passing
backward lodged at the base of the
brain, from which spot the doctors
remived it. Dra. Applewhite and
Leonard extracted the dangerous look
ing bolt. It was over an Inch in lengt h
and was of half Inch round Irou, The
boy Is doing as well as could be ex
pected, but his (use Is a critical and
doubtful one. Corvallls Gazette.
